I wish it was possible to give zero stars. There are so many charities with so much less/zero funding, relying on donations and going out at all hours, driving miles at 3am, spending hours out in the cold trying save these poor animals. Yet it is RSPCA only who can request police assistance, when they do little or nothing to help in the vast majority of circumstances. It is a crying shame that the RSPCA who can afford big advertisement campaigns to line the pockets of the people at the top are the only ones afforded any rights to remove animals. The majority of responses are all the same when you look at reviews, "we can only do so much, we can't break the law, blah blah blah" (copied and pasted in most cases from their general pre-agreed text) - most of us would go ahead and look after the clearly neglected/starving animals if we possibly could and worry about the consequences afterwards (probably defensible in cases of abuse/neglect!) Most call handlers are rude at best and the likelihood of someone actually coming out is minimal, however clear it is that an animal is in desperate need of help. There are amazing charities out there who daily demonstrate their selfless love for animals. Let's fund them instead.
